Real World MPC (RWMPC 2026) Workshop

DATE: 7 March 2026

Organized by the MPC Alliance In Cooperation with IACR

The Real World MPC (RWMPC 2026) Workshop seeks submissions for contributed talks on real-world applications of secure multiparty computation (MPC). The workshop will not have proceedings; hence, submissions can be based on work in progress, papers in submission, or papers published elsewhere. Areas of interest broadly include:

  • Novel protocols/paradigms for MPC

  • Real-world deployments of MPC

  • MPC standardization efforts

  • Cryptanalysis of real-world MPC protocols

  • Programming languages, software frameworks, and compilers for MPC

  • Formal verification of MPC implementations

  • Real-world security of MPC implementations and/or deployments

  • Real-world studies of the economic impacts of MPC

  • Legal and policy implications of MPC 

Work on theoretical MPC protocols that have not been (or are not expected to be) deployed is outside the scope of the workshop. The RWMPC 2026 program committee will select talks with the aim of constructing a balanced program that will be of high interest to the audience. The workshop will also include talks by an invited speaker.

Venue & Logistical Information

As this event is being held in cooperation with the IACR, there is a two-step registration process.

Below are a few important logistics updates from the Real World Crypto 2026 organizers.

  • Speakers should make sure they have signed up to the affiliated events via the RWC registration website. Speakers that have not registered will have to register on-site.

  • There are shuttle buses between the RWC venue (Marriott) and the affiliated events venue (NBRP) (see https://rwc.iacr.org/2026/travel.php for more details).

  • Some speakers may be facing difficulties traveling to Taipei due to air space and airport closures in the Middle East. We are currently looking into two options: (1) pre-recorded talks; (2) remote talks via Google Meet or similar. There is one important limitation: Due to Taiwanese government security policies, Zoom cannot be used in government facilities (including Academia Sinica). Any other major conferencing software should be acceptable.

  • We'll have a laptop and clicker ready for speakers, but if speakers have any special needs or want to pre-load presentations before the day, they may want to bring their own laptop. HDMI will be available.
